Chapter 320: Family Affairs
After staying in Linjiang for half a month, Ah Xiu and his party prepared to leave for Beijing.
Before leaving, Ah Xiu made a special trip to ask Cao Yi to come back to Liangzhou, and built a warehouse to collect grain along the way.
Cao Yi was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that we still have to do a grain business?" ”
Ah Xiu shook her head, "Even if the second master goes to do it, these grains will soon be of great use." ”
Thinking that this person has a lot of ideas and can step on ideas everywhere, Cao Yi didn't ask, just did it.
After arranging the affairs of Linjiang, Ah Xiu embarked on the road back to Beijing under the escort of Zuo Huai.
At this time in Beijing, Jiang Boyuan has been promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple because of his meritorious service in the last water case, and he has jumped from the previous six-grade petty official to the fourth-grade.
Before taking office, Jiang Boyuan invited his colleagues to the restaurant for dinner, and Hu Ke and Song Tian were among them.
Think about how beautiful Song Tian was in high school last year, but now he has the lowest rank among the three, which makes people sigh that everything is unpredictable.
But even so, no one underestimated him, after all, he was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but the time came late.
The group ate in the restaurant for half an afternoon, and in the evening, Jiang Boyuan invited Song Tian and Hu Ke to the teahouse to sit alone.
If Song Tian hadn't come this time in the past, he would definitely not have come this time, but now that he goes back, he will sleep on a cold couch, so it is better to catch up with his brothers outside.
After that, it will be a little late when I get back.
Song Tian doesn't care, anyway, now that his daughter-in-law and wife are not there, no one cares about him at all.
Hu Ke did not marry a wife, and the whole family was not hungry when he fed himself.
It's Jiang Boyuan, and Jiang Peng was blocked when he entered the door.
When the father and son came to the main hall in the front yard, Jiang Boyuan's face was a little red, and he was still burping when he was holding the teacup.
Jiang Peng frowned and said, "I wanted to set up a few tables at home and invite relatives and friends to come over to congratulate you." ”
Although the youngest son's official status cannot be compared with him and his two elder brothers, he is still young and has just joined the ranks, which is already very good.
Jiang Boyuan laughed when he heard this, "Dad, what is there to celebrate in a Dali temple, seeing that you didn't celebrate when you were a hussar general before, I just have to have fun with my fellow disciples." ”
He was originally a first-class general, but now he just has one more title.
Jiang Peng sighed: "Yuan'er, are you still angry with me?" ”
Gas?
It's more than gas.
Jiang Boyuan looked at him blankly with a pair of red eyes and said, "Dad, what are you talking about?" ”
The son looked ignorant, Jiang Peng had a lot of words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
In the end, Jiang Peng asked his son to help him back and told him to take good care of him.
The next day, Jiang Boyuan drank too much and had a headache, so he directly asked people to go to the yamen to take leave.
On the first day of promotion, he took leave, and only a son like him could do it.
When Wen heard this, he smiled faintly, stroked his hair and said to the old mother behind him: "Just while the whole family is here, you go and take Yan'er over and settle the family matter." ”
"The old slave will arrange it."
After Fu's mother finished speaking, she left, and an hour later, Wen's niece came to the General's Mansion, saying that she was here to say goodbye to her third cousin and bring a gift.
Jiang Boyuan had just woken up at that time, and was rubbing his head, when he heard the words, he said to the long entourage beside him: "Take the things, and the people will take them away." ”
Chang Sui looked embarrassed, but he still thought of an excuse to take the person away.
Wen Yan was a little depressed, knowing that her third cousin didn't want to see her, and when she returned to Wen's courtyard, she couldn't help complaining, saying that she was sincere, but the third cousin was unmoved.
Wen Shi held her hand and comforted: "This man, it is impossible to really have a single-minded person. What we can do is to guard the position of the sect woman, and don't let those vixens take advantage of it. As for the rest, don't expect too much. ”
Wen said very generously and easily, Wen Yan looked at her, but stopped talking.
She remembered that her mother said that her sister-in-law and General Jiang were two little guesses, and they became relatives after many years, but later General Jiang brought back a pair of children from outside and injured her.
At noon, Wen Yan had lunch here.
After that, Wen made a special trip to find her husband and mentioned Jiang Boyuan's marriage.
Wen Yan, this girl Jiang Peng has seen since she was a child, she is well-behaved and cute, and she looks good when she is older.
Although the Wen family has fallen a little bit in the past two years, their family does not need to use the woman's maiden family to boost their status and identity, as long as his son agrees to this matter, he has no opinion.
"You said you want Yuan'er to agree?"
Wen sighed, "I want him to agree, I'm afraid you won't see him marry before you leave this year." ”
When Jiang Peng heard this, he remembered that his wife had recently recruited several girls, but his son refused them all.
"I'll ask my mother to ask if he has a favorite girl."
Jiang Peng left quickly after speaking, Wen looked at his back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of mockery.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Yu was entrusted by her son to go to Jiang Boyuan's yard.
This time, this old lady Wen Yanyu also agreed, this is the only daughter of the Wen family's third room, she looks good, her reputation is okay outside, and she is sloppy with her grandson.
Of course, the most important thing is that the grandson refused several times in a row, and Mrs. Yu didn't ask for anything, as long as the grandson nodded.
In this family, Jiang Boyuan could listen to Mrs. Yu's words, he leaned lazily on the low couch, frowned, and said: "Grandmother, that person is okay as a cousin, but I don't like to be a daughter-in-law." ”
Mrs. Yu choked when she listened.
Fawning asked, "Bo Yuan, what do you want?" Say it and I'll find it for you. ”
Jiang Boyuan pursed his lips, "I don't want to, I haven't played enough." ”
Old Madam Yu glanced at him, "It's two out of twenty, what are you playing?" Starting a family is a big deal. ”
"Yes."
Jiang Boyuan sat up and said, "But even if you are married, you have to find someone I like." The twisted melon is not sweet, and it is not good to become a pair of resentful couples at that time. Grandmother, you don't want your grandchildren to have a bad time. ”
Mrs. Yu was helpless, "It's better for the two of you to get in touch, and the relationship can also be cultivated." ”
This time, Jiang Boyuan did not refuse, nodded and said, "Cheng." ”
Wen Yan heard that Jiang Boyuan agreed to contact her, she was overjoyed, she just went back the day before, and came again the next day, but it was a pity that Jiang Boyuan stayed in the yamen for several days in a row, and she couldn't even see her face.
Wen Yan couldn't wait, so she picked a day and went to Dali Temple with a food box.
Everyone came to the door Jiang Boyuan couldn t not see it, but he frowned and asked her not to come in the future, what kind of system does a girl's family run around.
Kindly came to send something but reprimanded, Wen Yan cried directly, thinking that she was the pearl of the third room, how could she have been bullied like this, and then she didn't run to the Hou Mansion for no reason.
As soon as the people over there left, Jiang Boyuan returned to the Hou Mansion as usual.
His posture was obvious, and it was impossible for Miss Wen to do so.
A moment ago, he said that he was in contact, but he actually disappeared directly, and he embarrassed his niece. Wen was so angry that he cried directly to Jiang Peng.
